WHO:
Families, individuals and first
responders in need of personal care items, cleaning products or
laundry services in the wake of the Tropical Depression Imelda in
Texas.
WHAT:
The Tide Loads of Hope Mobile
Laundry Unit has been deployed to support flood victims in the wake
of the Tropical Depression Imelda in Texas. The Tide Loads of Hope
mobile laundry vehicle will begin services at the Antioch
Missionary Baptist Church on 3920 W Cardinal Dr, Beaumont, TX today
from 9:00 a.m. -5:00 p.m., providing free full-service laundry to
residents affected by the recent storm. Residents can bring clothes
(up to two loads per household) to be washed, dried and folded free
of charge. All washable clothing types can be accepted with the
exception of heavy bedding.
In partnership with Matthew 25:
Ministries, P&G will also be distributing free personal care
and cleaning kits with everyday essentials needed to meet basic
hygiene and home care needs directly out into the affected
areas.
WHY:
Tropical Depression Imelda dumped
as much as 43 inches of rain on some parts of southeast Texas,
leaving thousands of homes flooded and five people dead.
P&G has a history of giving
back to the communities where we live and work, and we want to
provide everyday essentials to those who need it most to help bring
a sense of normalcy in this time of need. These services are free
and available to people affected by the disaster and the volunteers
who are helping to respond.
WHERE:
Starting today, the team will
collect laundry from 9:00 a.m. at the Antioch Missionary Baptist
Church listed below until 200 loads are reached (two loads per
household). The team will also be distributing personal care and
cleaning kits directly out into the affected areas.
The Tide Loads of Hope mobile
laundry units will be located at: 3920 W Cardinal Dr, Beaumont,
TX
